Summary
Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over 100 miles or more on more than 100 occasions and the first to run 100 and 200 miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in 12 days, four hours, and 57 minutes.
And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict.
After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.
In Reborn on the Run, the listener keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners.

Faultless Book on Ultrarunning
I’ve read many a book on running, ultras and training and this is easily one of the best. Written in a very laidback way, it’s a story that’s inspiring, absorbing, sometimes painful and sometimes laugh out loud funny. It’s beautifully written and the narrator is amazing. I would listen to any book narrated by her she’s so good, her intonation, passion and tone is perfect. If you want a book about running this should be on the top of your list. Loved it.

Really honest account of the authors journey from before an addiction, through it and coming out of the other side. Personally I haven’t had an addiction like hers, but have had a serious eating disorder and some of this made for uncomfortable (but necessary) listening. I couldn’t stop rooting for her throughout. So great to hear of her journey out of hell.
